These are wonderful. I’ve taught found poems and altered books, but I never combined them. My students will be doing this after the summer – thanks! I’m thinking about tying it to the idea of “Narrative Transportation” that I want to explore at the start of first semester. Thanks:)

‘Narrative transformation’ sounds like an excellent concept to explore. I love it!
I have been thinking more about the saying ‘the medium is the message’ and am discovering that I am in fact really unsatisfied with how English and Language Arts subjects marginalise the impact of medium. It even speaks to the significance of digitally published texts and narrative, don’t you think?

I think there’s a deep-rooted notion that writing great volumes equals rigor, and this impacts people’s perception of medium. Perhaps some feel a little guilty if a medium isn’t text-heavy, even though it might require analysis, evaluation and synthesis, perhaps much more so than a traditional essay.
